Nice! Will try it out sometime..

A coincidence, I used the Ambur mutton biryani recipe from the same site last weekend. Made it with chicken though - friends and family liked it

With 'Bird Flu' scare all around, where do you get your chicken from?

Heard, the poultry from Tamilnadu/Kerala border regions are severely affected.

Oh. Ok, now I know.

Oh well, I am fine and have lived to write about it. Pressure cooking helps kill it all I guess

What brand maida and yeast do you use ?

Any packaged Maida is fine. The yeast comes mainly from China and any bulk pack works fine

Got to know from many chefs that for Tandoori Chicken, add mustard oil in the marinade and use ghee for basting if required.

Also, use hung curd instead of normal curd for good coating.

Hope this helps.

I very recently tried to make tandoori chicken at home.

I marinated the chicken legs, then put some ghee on non-stick pan, let the chicken outer part get blackish on high heat and then covered it for a while on simmer so that the inside of the chicken gets cooked as well.

Folks. Looking for some advice on how to prepare best marinated vegetarian recipes for home barbeque. I recently bought a Weber barbeque charcoal grill and would like to try out some homemade recipes before inviting friends over. Any suggestions or external links would be hugely helpful. Thanks

Vegetables are hard to get right in barbecue as they have very little fat. So to get the best out of them, baste them with oil. Normally in Middle East I have seen meat pieces interspersed with baby onions and capsicum, so you can try them. The best I have had of vegetables is Baigan Bharta - roast a 1/2 kg+ round brinjal and the inside comes out butter smooth.

Veggies like capsicum , tomatoes, olives , pineapple , peppers on skewers are a sure hit , also , try out grilled sweet potatoes with olive oil. I usually grill pita on my grill.

My take on Spanish Omelette based on the below recipe.

Ended up like this. Not the prettiest shape.

Guys, need advice on this-

Got half kg of chicken with bone and half kg boneless. I marinated the boneless chicken and put both in the deep freezer. How many days can they last? Advisable to cook them or not?

I have used chicken after several months in the freezer, and it was edible.

eatable is another discussion

Wait for the weekend, call in your friends and make a big batch of chicken 65

The vizag test will be going on so I am sure you can certainly polish off a kilo of chicken that way.

This is a decent recipe. http://www.spicytreats.net/2015/02/h...-andhra_5.html

Thanks Guys - I was more inclined towards Barbecuing the marinated ones though.

If your freezer maintains minus 18°C it will keep for at least six months. If you can achieve minus 23°C it will keep indefinitely.

You're talking about temperatures that are best achieved in commercial deep freezers of the sort they use to store meat and ice cream, and in industrial deep freezers that are used by cold storage facilities.

A normal fridge's freezer tends not to go below 0 or 1 degree Celsius.
